I honestly believe the damage is done with Mack and Oakland will take a deal from someone. I think it ends up being a 1st and a 3rd, maybe a player thrown in. I don't expect him to be in a Raiders' uni ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, unless they can get a 2020 from the Bills and more. For example what is a better offer: GB’s 1st and 3rd in 2019 or McCarron, Bills 2nd, 4th and 2020 1st or 2nd? If you think that the Bills are bad (or GB is good) you may consider it. I can’t see the Bills giving up their 2019 1st but they can still assemble a solid offer.

We have too many needs, and that pick might get you a stud or be swapped for a basket full of picks later. We are not one player away.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I think draft picks in the NFL are the single most over valued thing in sports. Go back and look at our last 10 to 15 first round picks and see how many pairs of them, you wouldn’t trade straight up for Mack. It’s all moot anyway. Teams don’t think that way and this is never going to happen. A team might pull off a deal but it won’t be the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Raiders want at least 2 first-round picks for Mack Oakland Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie has fielded calls in recent days from teams interested in trading for Khalil Mack, but the asking price is high -- at least two draft picks.

davefan66 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 2 first round picks? Absolutely! Would do it in a heartbeat. As mentioned by others, 1st round picks are a crap shoot. With Mack you know exactly what your getting...a generational player. He’ll be a stud on your team for many years. The track record of 1st rounders league wide is poor at best, again with Mack you know exactly what you’re getting. As as far as $$$, our cap is looking good starting next year, so structure the deal to accommodate that. Stay under the cap this year, then take the hit next year and beyond.

BuffAlone Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Our next 2 first round picks should be rather high. Beane won't spend that. However, a high pick this year could spell a trade down and an added first round pick next year, or at least the ammo to consider it. That said, all Hail McWitch!. I vote Hell Yeah on acquiring Mack...at a fair price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because as we all here know a top ten pick is guaranteed to become a star or at least a 10+ year starter, where as Mack has proven nothing and is getting older by the minute. anybody wouldn't give a 2019 1st rounder is either crazy or lacks football knowledge, I understand the reluctance of paying is salary but being afraid of giving up a 1st ? Hughes and a 2019 1st for Mack. Git er done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezertbill Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 My thoughts. Khalil Mack for Bills 1st in 2019 (which Raiders may think would be a top 10) Bills 2nd rounder in 2020 Charles Clay AJ McCarron. Clay is expendable. I think Leary, Croom, Lee, Thomas, and even Towbridge---Clay's salary doesn't make sense to keep. He would be a weapon for Gruden's offense, and McCarron would give him a huge upgraded over Connor Cook and EJ Manuel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, because the draft is a "crap shoot," you'd be ok with giving up two 1sts, plus (probably) Hughes and other roster players, additional picks in 2019 and 2020 AND a $25 million a year contract for Mack? Did you watch the Bengals and Browns games? How did the starting offensive line do in protecting McCarron and Allen? These are the Bills' opponents through mid October: Ravens, Chargers, Vikings, Packers, Titans, Texans. All of these teams have defenses that will obliterate our offensive line and whoever's under center. Having Mack on this team will ultimately mean NOTHING in those games. Are you saying that you would be ok watching those disasters, just so you could wear a red, white and blue Khalil Mack jersey on Sundays?
